War
Parties on the March in Syrian Ceasefire

A
senior official from Syria's main opposition group said on Monday
that a fragile international attempt to halt nearly five years of
fighting was in danger of collapse because of attacks by government
forces. The cessation of hostilities drawn up by Washington and
Moscow faced "complete nullification" because Syrian
government attacks were violating the agreement, the official of the
Saudi-backed opposition High Negotiations Committee (HNC) said.
France said there were reports of attacks on opposition forces in
breach of the deal, which came into force on Saturday, and countries
backing the Syrian peace process met to try to clarify the situation.
